Reflections

"Reflections on what?" you may ask. Reflections on the project so far: questions, concerns, ideas, etc. Until today's class, I was getting a little nervous about the project. I wasn't sure how it was going to work out, seeing as our client can't even come and visit us until March 2. I wasn't sure what kind of information we would need to put on the website. I wasn't exactly sure as to what we were even doing on this project.

Luckily, today's class answered a lot of my questions. I am not as worried, now, about the client coming at such a late time. Angela went and talked to them, and as a result, she was able to find out a lot of vital information. We can now begin to research because we have an idea as to what the Sunshine House is looking for. Also, after today's class, I now understand that each of the groups is going to make a website, and then Sunshine House is going to choose one of them to actually use. That was the subject of my greatest confusion because, before today, I didn't understand why we were all making a website for just one client. I had thought that maybe the class as a whole would work together to make the website: one group would do the web design, one group would make the copy, one group would talk to the Sunshine House, etc. It all makes sense now. :)

One more thing, an idea that Jocelyn brought up in our group discussion today: if the people in charge at Sunshine House don't want to put their email addresses up, why don't they just create a non-personal g-mail account or something?

Glad you are feeling better about the project! Please feel free to ask me questions any time you have concerns.

I think we can get the general email on the site. In fact, I think it's key. A lot of people would hesistate about starting with a phone call and would feel more comfortable getting email info first.
